correct as is f18 gbu 10&12&16 cannot guide through TGP laser

[Ddg1500]

Hello, i found out recently when i was training to use various laser bombs in f18, using the TGP(litening for instance) with gbu16 or 12 or 10,

The bombs cannot be guided with laser when was set to the same laser code(different from the orignial code when loaded by ground crew) on both TGP and bombs in MFD on ground or in the air(and yes I arm the  laser)

It sometimes could only guide properly when the the bomb laser code was edited on "Rearm &Refuel page" on ground,  editing the bomb laser code through MFD after loading doesn't work, even in the air, it won't guide through the TGP laser.

I think it is a bug, here is my trackfile

f18 GBU12 success .trk F18 GBU16 laser .trk f18 GBU12 fail .trk

Hi, 

this is correct, laser codes can only be set when on the ground. 

In the cockpit all you are doing is matching codes to your weapons which have already been set by the ground crew.

But the Hornet can edit the bomb laser code through MFD, isn’t this sort of a bug? 
I learned through Tricker’s video 

It works fine for him

The video is from two years ago from before the realistic changes were made. 

Now the procedure is closer to real life. 

thank you

So you are saying the only way to edit the bomb laser code is through the ground crew?

That's correct. The UFC option is to tell the jet "this bomb should have code X", so if your TGP is set to the wrong code, you will get an indication. The actual code can only be set on the bomb itself by the ground crew.

Correct needs to be done in the rearm menu.
